On May 17, Cade said, he and a barber at a strip center in the 3000 block of FM 1960 in north Harris heard a woman scream for help. Officers said she was being dragged outside by her husband, who had allegedly fired shots into the nail salon, where she worked.

Cade says he and his barber, Henry McHenry, ran outside to rescue the woman.

According to Cade, KHOU says, he was shot after grabbing the gunman: “All I saw was blood and bone marrow and all kinds of gushing blood out of my face.”

As Cade lay wounded, McHenry was able to hold down the suspect until officers arrived, KTRK said. But McHenry says Cade, a military veteran, is a true hero.

“What I saw Mike do I’ve never seen a human being do that in my life,” McHenry told KTRK.

Besides his injuries and occasional nightmares, Cade says, he’s doing OK and thanks God he is still alive.

“(The gunman) killed me. He shot me right in the face. But as I say, God restored it. And as you see, I’m fine,” Cade tells KHOU. He showed the TV stations staples on his scalp that are closing his wounds.

The suspect was arrested. KTRK identified him as Truc Nguyen, the woman’s husband. The woman has not been identified.
